This is the season where we are reminded of the work of salvation when our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again on the third day. This is the message that we try to deliver to all people in our region that “Christ died for sins once and for all, a good man on behalf of sinners, in order to lead you to God. He was put to death physically, but made alive spiritually.” (1 Peter 3:18) 

May the Lord open the hearts and eyes of the people to see the truth and accept it freely.
 
Despite our busy life, finding the time to make a difference is our core call as a family and ministry. We hope you’ll be blessed as you scroll down our news for March and find more inspiring stories. We want to encourage you to continue praying and supporting our ministry. God is at work and doing wonderful work in the hearts of people. Sometimes we cannot talk about the inner change, we just witness it. It is indeed His transformational touch!
 
On behalf of ACCTS team and us, we wish you a Happy Easter … Christ is Risen.

In appreciation of potential, brave women around the world and on the occasion of the International Women's Day, AWT has given a workshop on “Stereotypical images of women” at Princess Alia University College.
The light was shed on the current beliefs and limitations hindering women by the society, in an attempt to transform such perceptions and be change agents.
College girls felt that their voices were heard and their hidden fears, frustrations, and uncertainties were validated.

Roles Clarified

It has been a thrilling experience that has met the need of a group of young church women leaders. For whom AWT conducted a workshop stressing on the necessity of renewing our mind, and submitting to God's original plan for women. And how this truth should be reflected on our attitudes, self-perceptions and roles as women in church and community.

From assault to life
A family is back on track
 
A cry from Egypt has reached AWT Social Media page saying, “My sister is with two daughters: Eight and four years of age. We discovered that their father raped them and forced them to some humiliating sexual practices.
 
My sister went to the police, but consequently was beaten, robbed and threatened to be killed to force her to drop the case! My sister is so weary and doesn’t know where to go for help and protection. Can you give counsel?”
 
We were able to provide the needed support through an Egyptian beneficiary of our ministry who helped follow-up on this critical issue. The family has been receiving specialized psychiatric treatment. And by the grace of God and the continuous encouragement, the family of three is now living a secure life away from danger.
 
 
Mother shared, “I plead with God to bless your work of love. You are angels who came to the rescue!”

If I would have stayed in Syria, I would have had four children now; when I am still 18 years old!

 
“I refused to marry early and insisted on completing my studies, despite the challenges. Now I am waiting to register at a university. I gained strength because of the awareness workshop I attended with my mother. It has brought about change in our lives. It helped us realize the danger of early marriage, and my right to education.”

“Thank you for giving me this opportunity to feel that I am a productive person. I discovered that I have the ability to innovate and manufacture straw and accessories; which was beyond my expectations. Now I am able to sell my products to help, at least, generate my personal expenses. The most wonderful thing is that people like my products!”
